The house was built in 1722 and remains nearly as it was then and is the only remaining original home left from colonial times. The keith #1 and #2 were taken with an M2 and 35mm Summicron. Film Agfa APX100 developed in Rodinal 1:25. Shots 3, 4 and 5 from the Keith home were taken with an M7, 24mm Elmarit ASPH and SF20 flash. Film Fuji Acros 100 developed in X-Tol 1:1. The William Penn Manor shots were all taken with Acros 100 and X-tol. I did not know that flash was not allowed due to UV damage to the furnishings. They also had protective film over the windows. I only had the 100 film and a 28mm Elmarit. The indoor shots were at 1/15th f2.8. I plan on visiting again soon armed with Tri-X and shot at about ISO 800. That should work. The Penn home is a reconstruction using the same ground and the same plans as the original home which was destroyed. This may not be as interesting to some of you but it's what I like along with flowers and my IR and UV stuff. Len
